Flora McLachlan

"I began with an Art Foundation course at Brighton College of Technology (1993), then studied English at Oxford (’94-’97). I spent the next 15 years making etchings at Oxford Printmakers, and in 2016 I established my own print workshop offering etching and stone lithography in West Wales, on the edge of a wild moor, surrounded by lichened trees. I was elected to membership of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers in 2008 and became a Fellow in 2013. I’m a director of Aberystwyth Printmakers and currently doing an MA in Fine Art at Aberystwyth School of Art. In my work I am trying to evoke an ancient and numinous landscape. Certain places can awake the memory of our shared inheritance of folk and fairy tale, the sense of wonder and mystery that lies deep in all of us. I am inspired by the quests of medieval romance poetry, adventuring through the nurturing and destructive aspects of the landscape, its nests and chasms, its sanctuaries entwined with sharp thorns. I’m feeling for a lost magic; a glimpse through trees of the white hart."
